Great atmosphere/decor and friendly staff member. Food was reasonably priced and authentic. Try the meat casserole- it was delicious

We went to celebrate a friend's birthday with Brunch and it was a lovely experience. We walked in without reservations and they were able to accommodate 6 people. It is a smaller initmate space. The staff was great, they were attentive, and explained the different dishes patiently. We had lots of items on the menu... fried sardines, Brazilian cheese bread, beef empanandas, crepe pancakes, Brazilian cheese bread waffles with eggs, beef stroganoff, mussels, and pumpkin with shrimp. We ended with Gelato, chocolate truffles and egg tarts. The staff was also nice enough to give a unique shit as well.

We came here for father’s day brunch. Food was phenomenal. We loved everything we had, empanadas, cheese bread waffles, bifana... etc. Highly recommend this hidden gem in JC!

We had a fantastic experience at the restaurant. We tried the coxinha and the feijoada—both were incredibly flavorful. The service was outstanding as well.

I really enjoyed brunch here. Our waiter was really kind and indulged all our questions about the different types of juice they have, many of which were unfamiliar to me. I went with the cupuacu which was really tasty and super refreshing. I could see it being an acquired taste though - I would definitely ask about any options you've never had before. For food, we tried the savory pao de queijo waffle and portuguese chorizo hash, which I just inhaled they were so good. It's a pretty small interior, nice atmosphere and the food came out really quickly. Definitely plan to come back and try out the dinner menu sometime. Easy 5 stars.

An oasis within the City of Jersey with the beautiful outdoor seating with plenty of shade. Food is super fresh and expertly prepared, Chef KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING! Staff is super attentive and genuine but not overbearing, excellent service. Did I mention this place is BYOB!?!?! Yeah, bring your favorite bottle of wine and pair it with exceptional Brasilian/Portuguese fusion cusine. Last but not least, music selection is authentic Brasilian and adds additonal flavor to this already uniqly beautiful spot
